Bella is a 9 year old American Shorthair in Fayetteville, NC, who needs $1,142 for Dental Surgery.

Bella adopted me when I heard her crying outside my door. She just lost one of her siblings Cloe' the week before Xmas, I couldn't afford to have them run tests to see what was wrong with her, so I had no choice but to put her down. She has one more sibling Zoey.

I took her to Riverbark veterinary on Thursday and learned that her canine tooth has gone bad and needs to be extracted. Her other teeth have a lot of plaque, so may need more teeth extracted after she's under anesthesia

She is very special to me as she adopted me. She lays on my lap every night while I watch TV and looks back at me as if to say I love ya Mommy! It frightens me that the bacteria will reach her bloodstream and afraid of losing her too.

I am on disability! I've recently had car problems and put what savings I had left into getting it fixed. I have absolutely no funds to pay for her dental surgery now. I have Care Credit but it is maxed out. I tried applying for a personal loan to no avail.
